This time RSVP hired models from the Bel Ami adult film company and then stranded them in the war-torn anti-gay country of Tunisia, whose law decrees imprisonment of up to three years for being gay right after Arab Spring

Nearly a dozen Slavic Bel Ami porn stars from Hungary and the Czech Republic.were hired by RSVP to “mix and mingle” with passengers on a gay cruise through the Mediterranean. In exchange for providing the “talent”, RSVP told Bel Ami it could film the models frolicking non-sexually around the ship and that the models should keep the fact RSVP hired them quiet “suggesting that the young men should say the cruise was a ‘reward from Bel Ami for their hard work’ if anyone asked.”

But the models attracted too much attention, and RSVP allegedly kicked them off the cruise ship Nieuw Amsterdam, stranding them in Tunisia which at the time was in the aftermath of the civil uprising Arab Spring which resulted in many deaths and injuries.

The models were forced to spend the night Tunisia with no contacts or resources until Bel Ami could come to their rescue. If RSVP would have waited one day the cruise would have docked in Italy. A much safer and easier EU country for the models to leave from.
